The lemon zest really added brightness to the waffles! We drizzled them with a little bit of date syrup and with bananas on top it was delish!
It was good for meal prepping as well! I added a tiny bit of baking poweder and they maintained crispiness! For meal prepping I made a whole bunch and would keep in the freezer, to reheat I put them in the toaster so I could have something healthy every morning!
Thank you Mrs Esselstein!
I use flavored seltzer water instead of almondmilk.
Excellent. Been doing this for 30 years

Most FOK are amazing!! Sadly, this one is not. I agree with the “glutinous cardboard” comment – they were dense with no flavor. Even adding extra banana and vanilla didn’t help.
Very dense, a bit like glutinous cardboard. Healthy though.
Very easy to make. Good taste. Sturdy. Very sturdy. When eating these, I feel like I am doing the right thing. Doing the right thing is not always a walk in the park, but I would take that walk again.
Where can I find the nutrition info for these recipes?

This recipe is very forgiving!

1/2 cup Applesauce worked great!
Try applesauce and see how that works.
